Benson also used Smiths movements. -
I’m a fan of modern adhesives. Dental glue is horology glue. Given the gloomy outlook for replacement parts we’re headed for a Havana honey future anyways…

…check the bench for the missing cap jewels 😅. Seriously but not seriously I’m nominating you for best cinematography…

…so I’ve been occupied with an uncooperative Venus but here’s one I’m calling done. A JW Benson from the country auction house. The shipping to the states cost more than the watch. The flabby before… …silver ya? It was gummed up but actually ran fairly well @ 250 amplitude. fhf 31 which I discovered was not extremely common. The barrel arbor hung on to half of the screw and twas clear there was lots of rubbing so I managed to find nos for each. There was the tar sticky thang supposed to be subbing for a dial foot- what was that? I kept the crystal- lots of rubbing and some old school GS glue. Someone swapped in a fabu alloy mainspring so I kept that too. A bit of wrestling to make the hour hand straight(er)- apparently the second hand had it’s way with it… Cleaned up with over 300 amp now… …new footie… …I thought about downsizing the stem/replacement crown but given this one’s had a long life and the purchase on the crown is easy so I left it. The Hirsch strap cost more than the watch… …imma keep this one. It will get wrist time and lots of interest from a US audience unfamiliar with JW Benson…🏴
